This document summarizes a study on pregnancy outcomes in women with autoimmune thyroiditis. The study examined 96 pregnant women with autoimmune thyroiditis who were divided into two groups. Complications of pregnancy occurred in 54.8% of women. Tests showed decreased levels of thyroid hormones and increased TSH levels in women with autoimmune thyroiditis compared to healthy pregnant women. The study concludes that autoimmune thyroiditis adversely affects pregnancy and increases the risk of miscarriage, and recommends routinely testing TSH levels early in pregnancy for women with autoimmune thyroiditis to prevent complications.

ABSTRACT
Miscarriage is one of the pressing problems of modern obstetrics.
Among the latter, the leading place is occupied by the pathology of
the thyroid gland. In this connection, we decided to study the thyroid
status in women with miscarriage and autoimmune thyroiditis outside
and during gestation, to develop diagnostic criteria and optimal
methods of combined pathogenetically based therapy. During the
study, 96 pregnant women with autoimmune thyroiditis were
examined, which were divided into 2 groups: primiparous and
multiparous. In total, complications of pregnancy were noted in
54.8% of women.

INTRODUCTION
Diseases of the thyroid gland can cause not only
violations of the woman's reproductive system and
have an adverse effect on the processes of
embryogenesis, placentation and gestation, worsen
the course of pregnancy and the outcome of
childbirth, negatively affect the growth and
development of the fetus, but also significantly affect
the woman's body as a whole, worsen the quality life
and performance.
Material and research methods. For 2019-2020, we
examined 96 pregnant women with autoimmune
thyroiditis (AIT) with gestational age up to 34 weeks.
gestation. The state of the thyroid gland (thyroid
gland) was studied, the hormonal background was
investigated (the level of the thyroid
hormone, free thyroxine and antibodies to thyroid
peroxidase), ultrasound of the thyroid gland was
performed. All pregnant women were examined by an
endocrinologist and, if indicated, by other specialists.
The surveyed were divided into 2 groups. The first
group consisted of pregnant women with AIT (60
women), the second - pregnant women with a normal
course of gestation (36 pregnant women) without
thyroid pathology.
Research results
The applicants complained of pain in the lower
abdomen and lower back, palpitations, irritability, and
sometimes tremors. There were 18 primiparas
(18.7%), primiparous and multiparous were 78
(81.2%). The average age of primiparas was 19.4 - +
3.8 years, multiparous - 27.6 + - 8.7 years. A
burdened obstetric and gynecological anamnesis was
observed in 47%, anemia was noted in 62% of
pregnant women. Pregnancy was complicated by
hypertensive disorders in 9.4% of cases, including
preeclampsia - in 7.3%, oligohydramnios was noted
in 6.2%, polyhydramnios - in 7.6%, the threat of
termination of pregnancy occurred in 34.3% of cases ,
in 10.8% there were miscarriages in early and late
gestation, in 3.1% - non-developing pregnancy,
distress and intrauterine growth retardation were
noted in 11.9%. In total, complications of pregnancy
were noted in 54.8% of women. The TSH level in
patients with AIT ranged on average from 2.5 to 3.1
mU / L, which was higher than those in the control
group. The thyroxine level was 14.0 mmol / l, its
increase in the main group was compassionate in
iodine deficiency.

At the same time, there was a decrease in free
thyroxine and an increase in the level of antibodies to
peroxidase (TPO) -18.9, which is apparently
associated with destructive changes in the thyroid
gland and a decrease in its function, which is an
indicator of its autoimmune damage. The ultrasound
picture in AIT was characterized by an enlargement
of the thyroid gland, a decrease in its echogenicity
and averaged 13.9 cm3.
Conclusion
1. In an iodine-deficient region, which is our region,
AIT is the most common endocrine pathology.
2. AIT has an adverse effect on the course of
pregnancy, there is a high risk of miscarriage and
abortion.
3. In pregnant women with AIT, there was a
decrease in the level of thyroid hormones and an
increase in the level of TSH in comparison with
similar indicators of healthy pregnant women.
4. For the prevention of complications of gestation
and premature pregnancy in women with AIT, it
is recommended to routinely determine TSH
blood from early gestation.
